The country is mired in an ongoing conflict between the Yemeni government — backed by Saudi Arabia, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates — and Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The strike hit the southwestern city of Taiz, an area particularly rife with violence.

The U.N. recorded more than 13,000 civilian casualties in the conflict in Yemen between 2015 and 2017, and nearly 22 million people are in need of aid this year. More than 8 million people in the country don't know how they will get their next meal, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said last week. Guterres has called the war in Yemen the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and requested increased funding and improved access to aid Yemeni citizens.
